The Cholmondeleys and the Featherstonehaughs
2024 marks the 40th anniversary of The Cholmondeleys dance company, founded in 1984 by Lea Anderson, Teresa Montano, and Gaynor Coward. Inspired by the DIY culture of post-punk UK, they wanted to create something that resonated with their friends, blending dance with the energy of fashion, music, and club culture of the 1980s.
They named themselves The Cholmondeleys, like a band. Emerging from this vibrant time, their performances featured collaborations with British artists, including choreographer Lea Anderson, costume designers Sandy Powell, Emma Fryer, Simon Vincenzi, composers Drostan Madden & Steve Blake, and lighting designer Simon Corder. Together with their sister company, The Featherstonehaughs (founded in 1988), they produced over 87 works, both live and on film, performing in the UK and internationally. This rich creative legacy is captured in an archive of images by photographers such as Chris Nash, Pau Ros, and Matilda Temperley, now presented together for the first time in this celebration of The Cholmondeleys and The Featherstonehaughs.
Collective Spirit: The Lone Twin Boat Project
The project, conceived by the artists Lone Twin, began by inviting members of the public to donate pieces of wood that were significant to them.
The story behind each piece was documented and became part of the fabric of the boat. They include fragments from over 50 houses, a shaving from one of Jimi Hendrix’s guitars, and even a piece of the Cutty Sark.
In total the boat contains over 1,200 donations. Each piece tells us a story. Together they create Collective Spirit.
